I don't think this is true: remote in times of COVID is not the peak of the effectiveness or enjoyableness for remote working, by a very long way. There's no coworking options, there's the constant distraction & stress of the world imploding in the background, there's a variety of other restrictions on your lifestyle, there are kids sharing your WFH space, etc etc.
I think it's very likely that people's experience of remote work will improve as quarantines are progressively lifted, not worsen. Of course, this also suggests that people might write off remote work entirely in the meantime, by conflating it (explicitly or emotionally) with the pains of confinement in general.
- solidasparagus 6y agoYeah I totally agree. Honeymoon period may have been a poor choice of word - I just meant it's the period of time where the pros are still novel and the negatives haven't become long-running frustrations.
